Parents anxious to send their children to study overseas may fall into the traps of unscrupulous agents who offer empty promises to fill their own pockets. Mrs. Nguyen Thi Bich Phuong has been searching desperately for four months now to find a suitable overseas study agent, but in vain.

In district 10, the anxious mother approached another agency where an array of foreign scholarships were on offer, but she was disappointed to find out they were of little value, and she would still have to pay for tuition, accommodation, and other fees.

"Exposure to television food commercials enhanced high television viewers' preferences for branded foods and increased reported preferences for all food items (branded and unbranded) relative to the low television viewers," she wrote.
The children involved in the research reported a greater desire for sweet and fatty foods after viewing the … [Read more...] about TV junk-food ads boost kids’ appetites: study
